Just poured my daily coffee ration into one of my big coffee mugs. Said mug is only two/thirds full, despite there still being coffee in the pot, but that's all I can drink in a day due to health reasons, and shortly I will be cutting down to half that. Sigh. Now I know what nicotine addicts feel like when they're trying to give up smoking. I still get the cravings for something hot after meals, so I've moved to herbal tea. Sipping a hot mug of herbal tea (gasp! I'm a yuppie now!) is kinda like sticking a toothpick in your mouth to substitute for sticking a cigarette into your mouth, but what is a penguin to do when his bird metabolism simply won't tolerate that evil stimulant drug caffeine anymore?

When I had to switch from java to tea, I drank gallons of green tea. Try that???
ReplyDeleteI love green tea. It, alas, also contains caffeine, albeit you have to drink like 15 cups of green tea to get the same amount of caffeine as in a single cup of coffee.

But it's got those great anti oxidants. I know what you mean about the caffeine...bullshit headache...
